My Biggest Box To Date

For years now I've been telling people to get creative. To pick up an interesting box at the flea market, take it home and re-invent it with scissors, paint, paper and glue. And, many of you have already learned how that habit can easily get out-of-control. Is your basement full of interesting garage sale discoveries that you intended once to decorate? Is your spare bedroom now home for a plethora of exciting projects that have yet to get your full attention?

It's a common mistake among creative types, I think. Too many ideas. Too many possibilities and sometimes you just have to close the door and focus on one thing. Or, the burden of it all can become overwhelming and you won't ever get anything done.

Same goes for artwork. Sometimes you can just collect too much and then find it's very, very hard (if not impossible) to get started on that project because underneath what you're looking at this moment might be something better and more beautiful.

So, get on the ball folks and get busy at something! Because the world needs more beautiful things.

And, what am I doing you ask? It's my biggest box to date. I didn't exactly carry it home from the Flea Market but somehow it found me and now I'm spending lots of time removing the lid (aka roof) so that it might possibly someday be turned into something beautiful.

But just because you are going to finish your project before I finish mine shouldn't make you feel like taking any pressure off yourself.

Go ahead now! Make something beautiful today.
